I HAVE BEEN WORKING MY ASS OFF WATCHING THE SUN RISE AND FALL AND NOT ALLOWING MY SELF TO HEAD DOWN TO THE BEACH. FRIDAY I STAYED IN, AND CAUGHT UP ON MY RECORDED TV SHOWS, WHICH I FIND TO BE THE BEST NIGHTS AFTER LONG WEEKS. SATURDAY, I WOKE UP, GOT AN EXTRA SHOT LATTEE, AND HEADED TO VENICE BEACH. WE CRUISED AROUND ABBOT KINNEY, ATE LUNCH AT GJELINA, WHICH IS MY NEW FAVORITE PLACE, AND STROLLED IN AND OUT OF THE LITTLE BOUTIQUES. I SAW THE MOST AMAZING COW HYDE RETRO COUCH AND CHAIR SET THAT I HAVE MY EYE ON FOR ONE DAY WHEN STONE_COLD_FOX GROWS A BIT MORE. LATER WALKED THE BOARDWALK, GRUNGY BUT GREAT PEOPLE WATCHING, AND TRIED ON OVER PRICED LACE VINTAGE DRESSES AT 'GOTTA HAVE IT' VINTAGE STORE. LATER HEADED TO HANG AT THE PALI HOUSE IN WEST HOLLYWOOD, AND SAT ON THE ROOF TOP FOR HOURS CHATTING AND DRINKING VODKAS WITH FRESH STRAWBERRY JUICE. HENCE THE PIC OF ME GETTING SWILLY ON THE ROOF. I DECIDED IM GOING TO WIN THE LOTTO AND HAVE A GET AWAY LIVING SPACE AT THE PALI HOUSE, THE INSIDE IS THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF MODERN AESTHETIC WITH A RUSTIC EDGE. THE NEXT DAY I WOKE UP TO CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS AND THE FAIRFAX FLEA MARKET. I WAS IN HEAVEN, I BOUGHT 4 OF THE MOST AMAZING DRESSES AND I HAD TO CONTAIN MY SELF FROM GOING INTO SOME BOOTHS BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT EVERYTHING. IM NEVER GOING SHOPPING IN REGULAR STORES (ILL TRY) AGAIN. I JUST FOUND THE MOST ORIGINAL ITEMS. AFTER WE HEADED DOWNTOWN TO PICK UP SOME FABRICS, AND HEADED HOME TO WHERE I DRANK FRESH SQUEEZED WATERMELON MIMOSAS ON THE BEACH. WAS A MUCH NEEDED GETAWAY, NOT TOO FAR BUT IT WAS PERFECTION OF A WEEKEND. NOW IM SITTING EATING CHERRIOS LOOKING AT A 3 PAGE LONG LIST OF WORK TO-DOS. UGH. TAKE ME BACK.
